Comment: I started taking this herb for hemorroids and it clears them up within a day or two. But I started taking it regularly for leg cramps. It works very good for the prevention of them. I have high blood pressure and take my medicine in the morning so I wait until late afternoon to take the butchers broom. They don't react well when I take them together but no problem when taken separately.

Comment: Started taking this for leg cramps. I had cramps in either leg at night for over a week. Since taking the combo no cramps. Side benefit is my BP has come down into the normal range.

Comment: This reduced my vein swelling at my ankles and feet within one week of use.
I have been using it along with other herbs I'm using to reduce inflammation I have in my knee. I take fencing lessons (probably the reason my knee's inflammed), have gone to the doctor...had x-rays, prednisone, and mobic for a few weeks...was fine for a week or two, then (without fencing), it came back again.

I know I'll be nursing this bugger for the rest of my life, but I refuse to take strong medications right away...they do their damage too. With joy I can tell you that my home teas are keeping me pain free for two weeks now...and I plan to take my lessons again in the near future just to see how much these teas help to keep my inflammation at bay!
